Maya joined Kyle and me to work on his basement renovation project this morning. Even though she is nursing a torn rotator cuff, Maya proved very helpful. Of great amusement to me was listening and watching as the two tried to work out the placement of the recessed lighting that will be installed in the kitchen. After nearly an hour of discussion, mathematic calculations, and measurements, they realized the assignment was no more complicated than selecting which joist bays would get the light fixtures and roughing in wiring to those locations. We knocked off earlier than usual so I could catch the last Head of the Charles race of the day. I used my drone for a new photographic perspective of the action. In the evening, Jeanine and I attended the Conantum (name of our neighborhood) Harvest Dinner, a delightful pitch-in hosted in the barn of a nearby benefactor. It was a great opportunity to better get to know some of our neighbors.
